Follow these 5 Steps to Create Email Newsletters in Minutes

STEP 1: Select a Template

The basic idea behind elink.io is that you can create beautiful email newsletters by simply adding links from around the web. It jumpstarts your email marketing efforts.

Choose between different templates. There are 19 templates that you can choose from. For example, select a big photo grid with lots of photos, or thumbnail photos with descriptions or text only templates.

The best part is, you are not stuck with your newsletter layout. Come back at any time even and give it a new look. Even after it has already been published!

STEP 2: Add Web Links (Paste any web URL)

By just copying and pasting the URL of a web page into an elink.io, the platform automatically displays an image, title, and description that you can edit.

Easily add articles, videos, images and even online documents. To mix things up, you’ll probably want to add a variety of different media sources to each curated newsletter – such as a YouTube video, a blog post, and an Instagram photo. All of your new links will be automatically added to your template.

The outcome will create web content that is fully responsive across any digital device like mobile, tablets, laptops, etc. It looks great, no matter where it is being viewed.

STEP 3: Add a Header

Elink helps you edit and make changes to the title. Create anything catchy for your audience. The optimal title for an email newsletter is less than ten words, so just go with something short and sweet to ensure the highest possible open rates. Something like “Top tech trends of the month” would work just fine.

If you’re sending out a brief product marketing newsletter featuring reviews of new consumer tech gadgets from tech bloggers, you can also add brief introductory text (e.g. “Check out all the new products available from Apple this season!”).

If you’re only using company media assets, this might not be necessary. For example, you could simply send out an email celebrating a recent event with a brief title like “Highlights from our latest industry event in San Francisco” and include YouTube links to videos from the event.

STEP 4: Add Tags

Add tags to make it easier to track your elink in your dashboard. Choose whether you want to make your newsletter search engine friendly and then publish your email newsletter!

STEP 5: Choose an email method and hit send (That’s it..!)

When using elink, you have three email newsletter options – either export it to Gmail, MailChimp or copy the HTML code to any third party email system like Campaign Monitor, Aweber, Active Campaign, etc. Once you’ve decided where you want to export it, you’ll see an email draft populate within Gmail, MailChimp or your 3rd party email provider.

If you are a first time user, it might seem like magic to you! You don’t have to go through the long, laborious process coding HTML for each email newsletter. Nor do you have to worry about adjusting your layout and fiddle with formatting.

After creating your newsletter in minutes, all that remains is to choose your audience and hit “send”!
